Governing Body

The Governors have a wide range of responsibilities for the School including its overall values, the School Improvement Plan, the budget and staff appointments. The Archbishop of Westminster appoints foundation governors and all others are elected. The clerk is appointed by the Governors.

The Chair of the Governing Body, Mr Gerald Murphy, can be contacted via the school:

Curriculum Committee (meeting once a term).
Pastoral and Ethos Committee (meeting once a term).
Finance, Premises and Personnel (meeting once a term).
Admissions (meeting at least annually).
